Entertainment 1998

Chapter 520 Chapter 519, The Kung Fu Emperor Who Wants to Cry But Has No Tears
Although they were also sitting in the restaurant to eat, the table where Han Shanye, Zhang Yimou, Zhang Weiping and Jiang Zhiqiang were sitting was a little absent-minded because they were always paying attention to what Chang Xiaoyang and Jet Li were doing.

When everyone saw Chang Xiaoyang turn around and make an OK gesture towards them, they immediately high-fived to celebrate.

Before, everyone had been controlled by that foreigner, but now they finally have the upper hand over him. This result is quite exciting.

However, Jiang Feng, who was sitting at the same table, looked normal.

It’s time to eat, it’s time to drink, and if you want to eat scallion pancakes, you will definitely not eat the pie on the table.

And the way he ate made Zhang Yimou, Han Shanye, Jiang Zhiqiang and others feel speechless.

You are too good at pretending, aren't you?!

We know you are smart and have many ideas, but now that our goal has been achieved, why can't you give us some feedback? !
You should know that your idea allowed us to win the contract from the foreigners through formal channels.

Perhaps sensing that everyone's gazes were not right, Jiang Feng said while eating: "Don't look at me like that, I just suddenly feel sympathy for Comrade Li Lianjie."

"How can you say you sympathize with Jet Li?" Han Shanye was curious.

A Hollywood superstar only shoots for no more than 8 hours a day and gets paid 1200 million US dollars, while your own pay is only 200 million RMB. What qualifications do you have to sympathize with him?

But before Jiang Feng could say anything, Zhang Weiping, who was sitting beside him and seemed to be thinking about something, laughed.

"Boss Han, Boss Jiang, Jiang Feng is right, you should sympathize with Jet Li.

Because I suddenly thought of a good idea. Isn't there an agreement in the contract between the crew and Jet Li that the time from the hotel to the shooting site should also be calculated into the working hours?

Okay then. Starting from tomorrow, our crew will not talk about the specific location of the shooting site. We will just say that we will arrange for Jet Li to go out for a trip early in the morning. When he arrives at the travel destination, I will take Jet Li to see the natural scenery for one minute, then turn around and take him to the shooting site.

This way, we have a lot more time for shooting.

Well, and, like this afternoon, we can shoot as much as we can without having to worry about the return journey time.

Because before finishing work, I would tell Jet Li that I would take him to the cafe next to the Dunhuang Star Hotel to see ants, and we would just go out for fun.

And the time on the way to play naturally cannot be counted as working time..."

"what…"

Before Zhang Weiping finished speaking, Han Shanye, Jiang Zhiqiang and Zhang Yimou all opened their mouths wide.

Holy shit..., can you play like this?!

.........

As Jiang Feng expected, with a great player like Zhang Weiping, Jet Li was in bad luck.

If it were other producers, they would support and protect Jet Li because he is an international Kung Fu superstar, but Zhang Weiping would not.

On the first day of filming for "Hero", Zhang Weiping, inspired by Jiang Feng, got the hang of Jet Li.

Originally, the filming was to end at 4:30 p.m. and then return to Dunhuang city. However, in the face of Zhang Weiping's sophistry, Jet Li continued filming until 6:20 p.m. and then went back with the convoy.

Jet Li thought that was the end.

But on the next day, Zhang Weiping became even more aggressive.

At 5:00 in the morning, Zhang Weiping asked Jet Li to get up with the crew, have breakfast together, and then go to the shooting site together.

Of course, Jet Li's purpose of leaving for the filming site so early was definitely not for work, but to see the scenery. Well, that's right, under Zhang Weiping's personal arrangement, he was going to see the scenery.

However, Jet Li looked at the scenery next door for two minutes and then immediately came to the shooting site to put on makeup.

In this case, the working time will be calculated from the moment Jet Li sees the scenery.

For such outrageous operations, the first and second days were fine, but on the third day, not only the staff of Innovation Agency couldn't stand it, even Jet Li himself couldn't stand it.

I'm an international Kung Fu superstar from Hollywood, how could you do this to me?
So, when producer Zhang Weiping said he would take him to see the scenery, Jet Li said he would not go at all.

Yes, I won’t go traveling, you guys can do whatever you want.

But at this time, Zhang Weiping ordered his assistant to take out the performance contract which was thicker than an English-Chinese dictionary, and pointed out the contents of the contract to show Jet Li and CAA staff.

【The actors have the obligation to cooperate with the producers in promoting the film. 】

When they saw this, Jet Li and the CAA staff were all stunned.

Well, yes, we have an obligation to cooperate with you in promoting the movie, but the movie hasn't been released yet, so there's no need for us to promote it.

But what they didn't expect was that Zhang Weiping was so good at playing. Who said that there is no need to promote a movie before it is released? !

During the filming of the movie, publicity is also needed...

So Zhang Weiping would hire two local villagers to stay at the filming site every time, and let the Hollywood superstar Jet Li tell them how great the movie "Hero" is? !

To be honest, this approach is not very authentic.

However, the effect was amazing. Filming started at the end of June, and by mid-August, the "Hero" crew had moved to many places in the country.

Dunhuang, Dangjin Mountain in Aksai County, EJNQ Populus euphratica forest, Yulong River in Yangshuo, Arrow Bamboo Sea in Jiuzhaigou Scenic Area, Guilin, etc.

Friday, March 2001, 8
On this day, the crew of the movie "Hero" officially arrived at the Qin Palace in Hengdian Film and Television City to shoot the highlight of the movie.

Well, there were about 47 scenes left to shoot that were the main focus of the movie.

Jiang Feng secretly calculated that he and Zhang Manyu had about 7 scenes. Once the filming was completed, the two of them could finish their scenes in the movie simultaneously.

...

"Jiang Feng..."

"Ok?"

"Haven't you been to Hengdian before? And you filmed two TV series here. How about you take me around when you have time?"

The crew of "Hero" arrived in Hengdian and just checked in at the Hengdian International Convention Center Hotel. Zhang Manyu, who felt very good, came over and asked Jiang Feng to go out for a stroll together.

Anyway, the crew will start filming the day after tomorrow, so the two of them can get drunk tonight.

To be honest, Jiang Feng was very interested when he heard Zhang Manyu's proposal. He hadn't been to Hengdian for two years. Now Hengdian has begun to take on the appearance of "Oriental Hollywood".

The Ming and Qing Dynasty palaces that have long been built, the Hengdian World Studios that are currently under construction, and the Qingming Shanghe Tu Scenic Area and Yuanmingyuan Scenic Area are said to have been put on Hengdian’s construction schedule…

However, if you want to go out and play, you have to wait at least another two hours.

Because Wang Jinghua came to Hengdian.

She had known for a long time that the crew of "Hero" was coming to Hengdian to film, and had been waiting for Jiang Feng in the cafe of Hengdian International Convention Center in advance.

"Hi, Jiang Feng, this way!"

As soon as Jiang Feng walked into the cafe on the second floor, Wang Jinghua stood up and greeted him.

"Sister Hua, you are beautiful again."

"Go, stop talking nonsense."

Seeing Jiang Feng teasing her as soon as he opened his mouth, Wang Jinghua smiled and hit him.

"Jiang Feng, how is it?
I have been filming with Director Zhang Yimou for nearly two months. How do you feel about it? "

"fine!

Well, at least, my directing skills should be good." Jiang Feng was telling the truth.

During the filming of the movie "Hero", Jiang Feng's acting skills improved only slightly, but his photography and directing abilities made a qualitative leap.

“It’s good to have some gains!”

Wang Jinghua smiled and let Jiang Feng sit opposite her.

"Jiang Feng, I came to see you this time for three main things.

First of all, CAA, the agency that Jet Li and Lin Long signed in the United States, called me and said they wanted to sign a global agency contract with me, except for China, of course.

how are you feeling? "

"Why are they suddenly interested in me?" Jiang Feng frowned.

"Because it was you who came up with the bad idea and made the actor Jet Li under this company so happy, they became interested in you.

Well, it is said that because of you, not only CAA, but all the agencies in Hollywood are changing their actor contract templates, haha..."

When talking about this, Wang Jinghua laughed out loud.
